PS Series Inverter/Charger
Part No. 3597
Rev. D: November 23, 1999
Read Frequency
Hertz 60
60 Hz models
Range: 53 to 67
Read Frequency
Hertz 50
50 Hz models
Range: 43 to 57
Reads the frequency of the AC source that the inverter is synchronized to. This value may drift around
until the inverter has synchronized to the source. Once synchronized, the inverter follows the frequency of
the AC source it is connected to.
Read Bulk/EQ
timer h:m 00:00
All models
Range: 00:00 to 23:59
This display shows how long the charger has been in the absorption or equalization period. Once the
voltage has reached just below the BULK (or EQ) voltage, the timer starts and counts up to the SET
ABSORPTION TIME (or SET EQUALIZE TIME) at which time the float charge cycle will begin. This timer
is an accumulating or up/down type timer - it counts up while the voltage is near the BULK (EQ) setting
and counts back down if the voltage drops below the FLOAT VOLTS DC setting for a period of time.
INFORMATION DISPLAY
The following information is displayed as additional Menu Items.
AC1 & AC2 volts valid only when inverter synced to that input.
Batt volt actual is used for LBCO, HBCO, LBX, LBCI, sell volts and gen starting.
Batt volt temp comp is used for float, bulk, eq & aux relays.
MENU HEADING - ERROR CAUSES (5)
When an error has occurred, the red ERROR LED on the SWRC will be illuminated. If a generator error
has occurred, this ERROR LED will blink slowly. This menu is provided to assist with the investigation into
the error cause. If an error condition has occurred, the word NO will be changed to YES. To reset the
error, turn the inverter OFF and then ON.
Low Battery
voltage NO
Battery voltage is below the LOW BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting. The inverter has shut off to prevent
over-discharge of the battery. Allow the battery to recharge or connect to an AC source such as a back-
up generator. The inverter will reset when the battery exceeds the LOW BATTERY CUT IN VDC setting.
Low Inverter
voltage NO
Your inverter/charger monitors the minimum AC voltage level of the AC output. This assures a continuous
supply of quality Alternating Current to your electrical loads. This AC voltage level is determined by the
SET INPUT LOWER LIMIT VAC setting. If the AC voltage falls below this setting continuously for 32
seconds the inverter disconnects from the loads and turns on the error LED. The cause for this error
could be high battery voltage or an excessively large load.
Low AC input
voltage NO
Your inverter/charger monitors single cycle voltage problems from the AC source. The low AC voltage
level is determined by the SET INPUT UPPER LIMIT VAC setting. If the AC voltage falls below this
setting the INVERT (yellow) LED on the inverter will flash rapidly and remain on for 3 minutes. This error
is an advisory error only and will not drop the AC input.
